    Oh, I can so see that happening and it is so true. This weekend at the tri I passed a guy on the bike and then had to slow down going around a corner because there was a kid and someone else in front of me with cones on the left. Well, this guy had to try to pass me on the right and go between these two just to get in front of me. Didn't last long, though. As soon as I had an open path I went right by him for good. Funny how (almost) all guys are the same

    There are lots of rollers around here, and what I've encountered is the leap frog effect. I'll on-your-left a guy (or two or three) on a flat or an upgrade. Well, they can't stand being chicked, so on the next little downgrade they shift up to some tall gear, mash it and fly past me. Once the grade goes back up they're all out of steam and I hear them madly changing gears as I glide by at the same steady cadence that I was turning down the hill. Grade goes up, I go by and so on, repeat. I think it's an extra fly in their chamois butter that I'm passing them on the UPhill .
